We haven’t gone for a walk around the cemeteries in a while and Ellen wanted to use her OM 90mm macro lens on a few different subject types. If there’s any place with varied subjects it’s one of the old cemeteries.
I resisted the temptation of filling a bag with lenses of all sizes, I went with lighter walk around gear. My original OM-1 has various custom settings so for me it was a ‘point and click’ morning.
The rust and ruin look to the old areas is always fun to shot, it’s impossible not to find corners and spots I’ve never been to. Also there is always a chance of finding storm damage or erosion around the swamps.

The above were taken using the OM-1 (1), Olympus 40-150 r (plastic fantastic), and an OM 12-200.
I get great pleasure out of shooting the Plastic Fantastic lens. I love the fact I paid a grand total of $ US 60.00 for it. No lens hood, the size of a candy bar, and probably weights less.
Such interesting and evocative photos!
Thanks so much. The cemetery area of Charleston is a perfect place for a camera. Old swamp/marsh areas, traditional newer cemeteries, and many small AME (African Methodist Episcopal)Church grave yards. History everywhere.
